This month, Substack is going on a virtual tour to help connect writers exploring similar topics together.
The Substack category tour will act both as a meeting place for writers to connect directly over Zoom, and as a showcase for the wide variety of writing happening on Substack within a given category. Today, we are visiting stop #4: literature, fiction, philosophy, and history.
Participate in today’s thread:
Think of today’s thread as a roll call of all the writers in the room. We will use the thread during our live session to get to know one another and after the session, to stay in touch.
Introduce yourself! In one sentence what do you write about on Substack?
Respond to fellow writers. During the showcase, reply to writers’ comments.
No need to include a link to your publication. When you hover over any writer’s name in the thread, you will find their writer and reader profile.
When we finish today, it’s over to you to stay connected. Subscribe to fellow writers’ publications and reply to their welcome email with a note to keep in touch.
I'm Brandon. I write about the content I intake and thoughts I have as a university student. Sometimes I write poetry/short fiction. Every post has fun goodies/recommendations to view.
I write The FLARE, a multi-genre collection forging connection between self and community. Especially with personal essays, I hope the reader feels seen. Nice to meet everyone!

Hello! I write Game & Word, a weekly longform newsletter about gaming from several different historical, cultural, literary, scientific, and philosophical lenses. Check it out: https://gameandword.substack.com
Being one of those not fitting in a category, the best way I can put it is: reclaiming my power as a woman through self reflection, questioning the status quo, therefore touching on art and culture, self-growth/spirituality, activism (woman and animal rights), but keeping it as a playground to explore my creative side (poetry, film photography, dance, short films,..).
How to be honest and soft in a harsh world? Humor, vulnerability and beauty are granted. Give it a look if something resonates!
After this Tour there are many newsletter I want to subscribe now or in the future (because I'm not into building a house right now for example) yet I don't want to overload my Inbox. Can we save substacks addresses/profiles somewhere in the website version, in our profile for example?
